kidsGARDENING Dream Big Contest

kidsGARDENING, a non-profit organization that promotes children and teens learning about and engaging in gardening, is hosting a contest throughout April to get people into the spring spirit and ready for the outdoor planting season.  April is Kids Garden Month and they are hosting their DREAM BIG contest to promote gardens with today's youth as a place for creative expression, community engagement, and as a tool for empowering kids to realize their dreams. They are asking kids under 18 years old to describe a dream garden through artwork, pictures, song or words.

kidsGARDENING will be selecting weekly winners to receive a prize pack courtesy of GARDNERS SUPPLY COMPANY during the month. Prize packs will include a Tubtrug, mason bee house, pollinator journal, seed starting kit, kids garden tools, push gardens, paper pot press, lots of seeds and more!  Plus two grand prize winners will be selected from all entries to win a $250 gift card to help them make their dream gardens become a reality.
